習(xí)近平向身邊的少先隊(duì)員詢問(wèn)學(xué)習(xí)生活和體育鍛煉情況，叮囑他們從小養(yǎng)成愛(ài)護(hù)自然、保護(hù)環(huán)境的意識(shí)，用自己的雙手把祖國(guó)建設(shè)得更加美麗。

Xi said this year marks the 40th anniversary of National Tree Planting Day. In the past 40 years, China's forest area and forest stock volume have doubled, respectively, and China is home to the world's largest man-made forest. The proportion of China's contribution to the world's vegetation increase also ranked first.

Efforts should be taken to promote the high-quality development of afforestation, coordinate management of mountains, waters, forests, farmland, lakes and grassland, continuously advance the building of forest city and forest countryside, Xi said.
